  1. are they failing that often? (Print Heads)

    when breaking down the cost of ownership, you have the following: L26500 (792 series) ink = 163/775mL = .21/mL Heads = 110/10000mL (using 2ct media's estimate) = .01/mL Cleaning Kit = 99/5000mL (estimate) = .02mL Maintenance kit = 110/5000mL = .02mL Total per milliliter cost for latex = .27/mL...
  2. my fc8000-75 took a crap today

    menu > I/F > Command > set it to GP-GL (or auto if you want) menu > I/F > Step Size > set to (Probably 1016) I assume you are using Cutting Master or ONYX10. the settings may be different based on your output software. the Error 1 means that the command language is wrong. Graphtec plotters are...
  3. are they failing that often? (Print Heads)

    The Piezo heads that are in a roland, mimaki, etc. are designed to be "permanent heads" that are durable enough to last several years. The Thermal printheads in the HP are very cheap to produce, but have a short lifespan (about 3-8L of ink) The fact that they are user replaceable is a feature...
  4. L25500 Substrate Presets

    The link below is from HP, but hosted on 3M's website. its the new media creation guide that came with the L25500. Its one of the many things most people jsut throw away or in a drawer and forget about :)...
  5. Bathrooms.........................??

    There are a bunch of printable wallpapers out there (ultraflex makes some nice ones), that go up just like pasted wallpaper. They should give you the same wall performance as a store bought product. If you want to protect the print as well, roll on a matte clear liquid laminate. there should be...
  6. Spot Color Replacement Issue With Onyx x10.1

    change to "All ICC Profiles off", change your spot in the original file to a cmyk blend (as opposed to a named spot) and see if that makes a change. if not, make a separate file with multiple versions of the color you are looking for, and use that one in the file. If ONYX doesn't want to do...
  7. Static cling on epson gs6000

    flip your head to high, lower your temps, and run high passes. low heat over time is the key to not getting head strikes. It's also the rule to good BBQ :)
  8. JV3-160 opinions

    the 160S is a 3 head machine, meaning it prints 6color only (2 colors per head). The print quality (for its time) is fine to good, and the speed was adequate for the era. these days, the money you would spend on a 160S (hopefully no more than 2-4K) is a worthwhile down payment on another printer...
  9. Gray... ugh....

    you can also remove all input color correction, as this will level the playing field for your greys and hopefully neutralize your grey. it may also effect some out of gamut colors, but if its mostly grey, you'll be fine. also, i know mimaki's black ink has a slight green tint to it (its the...
  10. Saints /Colts ! ! !

    I give the Vikings their Due, they were able to walk all up and down the field on the Saints. if the Vikes could have gotten 1 INT, it'd been the game. Oh Case, who's Favre gonna play for next year? I like the idea that he eventually is QB for every team in the NFL and plays for the next 28...
  11. Client's email leaves me at a loss for words...

    It seems like GG has been fretting over this guy for a while. I think the frustration is past its useful point and i'd just give him the files and be done with it. When I ran my own place, we just gave them the artwork with the design service. It reduced our need for backups (back when storage...
  12. Graphtec CE50060 Pros & Cons?

    you know, usb drives are pretty cheap these days :) this link will even make them work in win98se :) http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php
  13. JV3 OEM Chips/Chip Resetter

    i'd go straight to the source. its an electrical problem. you're getting intermittent errors from sensors that work fine sometime, and not the other times. sounds like you need E102423 IO PCB 250 assy. thats the board where all your contact sensors and ink end sensors send their signals. or...
  14. JV3 OEM Chips/Chip Resetter

    why not tell us the problem you're having, and maybe you'll get a better answer than the tech you were speaking to. multiple minds are often better than one.
  15. New HP Designjet L25500 Series Printers

    from everything that i've seen, this machine is based on HP's Z-series of printers that have been modified to operate this new printing environment. They don't produce (or contract) permanent heads, so the heads are replaceable just like the ones on your desktop printer (the ones that are built...
  16. New Twist on an Old Scam...

    tell them email works better than IP relay. then you can spam their IP address and shut down a server if you know what you're doing ;)
  17. Help..is my head going bad ?

    what do you mean you filled them half full? did you do a cap soak? do you have a bulk ink system and it drained your reservoirs? maybe its me, but what you said isn't 100% clear.
  18. windows cannot share file

    an easy trick i tell people for local file transfer is to have the same user names and passwords set up on all computers. if you log into computer A as "sign" and want to access it from computer B, make a user on computer B called sign with the same password as you have on computer A. also...
  19. Check this out!!

    you know, looking at this site, and after going to college, i remember when i see the "101" in signs 101, it would lead me to believe its an introductory course. you've got a lot of people teaching, a lot of people with various skillsets, but you've got the entry-level in there as well. if...
  20. Cutting directly from Corel

    if there is a usb driver, it'll output HP-GL through a windows printer port. it may take some tweaking, but you can just use file>print to send the data through the windows printer driver. it works on graphtec plotters and all the versions of windows i've used, but i don't knwo if you have a...
